Introduction
INTRODUCTION
NOTE:
This manual has been updated to reflect the state of the product with
which it is sold, to provide a proper reference while troubleshooting and
repair operations, commonly carried out by the service engineer, are
being performed.
The manual might not reflect variations to the product if they do not
affect how it works.
The remote controlled table Apollo is an X-ray equipment that allows to
perform general X-ray examinations. In particular, because of its
connected accessories, the equipment is an optimal solution for
examinations where the use of contrast liquids is required.
The present manual provides the user with instructions for a safe and
efficient use of the equipment.
The equipment must be used in accordance with the procedures
contained in the manual and shall never be used for other purposes than
those provided by the manual itself.
Apollo is an electromedical equipment and, as such, it can be used
solely under the supervision of a physician or of highly qualified
personnel with the necessary competence in matter of protection from
X-rays.
The user is responsible for the fulfilment of the legal requirements
regulating the installation and the functioning of the equipment itself.

SAFETY ASPECTS
WARNING:
All information contained in the present chapter must be carefully read
and, where provided, must be applied in order to avoid damage to the
equipment or to people.
Villa Sistemi Medicali designs and manufactures equipment in
compliance with safety requirements; moreover, it provides all necessary
information for an appropriate use and warnings about the dangers
associated with X-ray generators.
Villa Sistemi Medicali does not take any responsibility for:
the use of Apollo equipment different from the one it was originally
designed for
damages to the equipment, to the operator, to the patient caused by

both wrong installation and maintenance not in conformity with the
procedures contained in the equipment's user and maintenance
manuals, and by incorrect operating techniques
mechanical and/or electrical modifications performed during or after

installation.
Only Villa Sistemi Medicali authorised personnel can provide

technical assistance for the equipment.
Only authorised personnel may remove the protections of the
electrical cabinet and of the equipment, and access the parts under
tension and the moving parts.

SERVICE MANUAL
Safety aspects
2.1
Warnings
Apollo is suited for use in hospital, therefore the line connection may not
be carried out in buildings with domestic-type power supply lines.
The equipment was not designed to be used in the presence of vapours,
anaesthetic mixtures inflammable when in contact with air, oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
In order to prevent risks of short-circuit and corrosion, avoid the
infiltration of water of other liquids in the equipment.
Before cleaning the equipment, always ensure it is disconnected from the
line.
All movements are controlled by a powerful and sophisticated electronic
microprocessor system. Speeds, positions, starts and stops of these
movements are controlled and managed by the equipment's logic. Safety
aspects are fundamental in this logic in order to ensure the maximum
safety both for the patient and the operator. Nevertheless, the operator
MUST ALWAYS PAY CLOSE ATTENTION when a movement is activated.
Press the EMERGENCY red buttons located on the control console and
on the front side of the equipment in case of danger. These buttons will
immediately stop any movement and function. They are a valid
instrument for the operator in addition to the intrinsic safety devices of
the equipment.
Before activating motorised parts, such as the tilting, the tabletop,
or the angulation, ensure that the patient is correctly positioned
and that their legs and arms are positioned within the shape of the
tabletop. If possible, use the support handgrips. During the motorised
movements, no objects interfering with the movements should be in
proximity of the table.
Pay close attention to people in the X-ray room.
Although Apollo was designed with a high degree of protection from
electromagnetic interference, the equipment must be installed at a
certain distance from the electrical energy transformation cabins, from
static uninterruptible power supplies, from walkie-talkies and cellular
phones. The latter two may only be used at the distances from any
element of the equipment reported in the following page.

Instruments or systems used in close proximity to Apollo must be in

compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations. Noncompliant instruments, with known scarce immunity to electromagnetic
fields, must be installed at a distance of at least 3 mt (9.84 feet) from
Apollo and must be powered through a dedicated electric line.

In case of line voltage dips that last longer than what can be sustained by
the table electronic control system, the examination in progress may be
cancelled. As a consequence, the tabletop and scan movements, as well
as the angulation, that may cause damage to the patient become

Radioprotection warnings
Villa Sistemi Medicali designs and manufactures equipment in
compliance with safety requirements; moreover, it provides all necessary
information and warnings about the dangers associated with equipment
connected to X-ray generators.
The personnel authorised to perform X-ray examinations must observe
all regulations regarding the protection against ionizing radiation as
reported below:
Use dedicated protections (leaded clothing) to protect the patient from
X-rays diffused in the areas adjacent to the one to be X-rayed.
During X-ray examinations, only the patient is allowed to stay in the

room. Medical and paramedic personnel or specifically authorised
personnel, if required by the examination, may also be present only if
wearing radioprotective clothing. The personnel in the room, during
the examination in progress, must stay in the areas indicated in the
figures below.

Description
The remote controlled Apollo table is the latest development of remote
controlled tables produced by Villa Sistemi Medicali.
Apollo table is available in the traditional configuration with a Spot Film
Device or in the "All Digital" version, where the Spot Film Device is not
present and the table necessarily has to be completed by Digital Image
acquisition system.
The most recent features applied to this type of table have been
incorporated and further improved. In particular:
the mechanical construction
the cassette's loading/unloading inside the SFD
the removal of components' numerous supporting frames, so that the

components become "self-supporting".
The fundamental functional concepts of the Apollo table are:
smallest possible space occupied
patient coverage simply through the longitudinal movement of the U

arc
elevating tabletop with parts rotation system as opposed to sliding

system
modern, concept winning appearance and design
operator's rear access without barriers towards the patient
reduced skin-to-film distance or skin-to-I.I. entrance distance in the

"All Digital" version
carbon fibre or plastic tabletop, with slight curvature or flat surface

and integrated accessories holder profiles
reduced I.I.-film distance to avoid the parallax correction
reduced-dimension console with new functional concepts.

Movements and complex functions are controlled by the remote-control
console located in the protected X-ray area.
The main table movements are replicated on the control panel on the side
of the table.
All electric and electronic control and logic elements, except for the
console, are grouped in a single electric cabinet, which also houses the
control modules for the system accessories.
The Apollo table, in its traditional configuration, is equipped with a Spot
Film Device that permits the use of commonly used cassettes of any type.
The format division program is very complete and is described in another
paragraph.
APOLLO

SERVICE MANUAL
Description
An automatic collimator, controlled by a central logic, sets the limits for

the irradiated area.
The collimator can be of square-rectangular collimation type or iris type,
which has circular field collimation in addition to square rectangular
collimation. The "All Digital" version is equipped always with an iris type
collimator.
To meet the requirements of fluoroscopic modality and image acquisition
by means of digital systems, the table is setup to accept image
intensifiers from a minimum of 9" (nominal) maximum input field up to a
maximum of 16" (nominal).
The intensifier is fixed by default by docking it to the Spot Film Device or
to an equivalent support in the "All Digital" version, by means of an
upper mount anchor plate. As an option, a device called "elevating I.I." is
available. This allows to raise the input surface of the I.I. closer to the
patient when the cassette is not in the exposure position.
In "All Digital" version, the II is located closer to table top, consequently
I.I. lift is not available in this configuration.
All movement controls are of "dead man" type.
Apollo was designed and built in compliance with European directives
for obtaining the CE mark as specified in the European Directive 93/42
for Medical Devices, guaranteeing the highest safety for both the operator
and the patient.
Apollo is a universal table for radiological diagnosis, built to satisfy all
needs. It can be employed for the examination of the digestive tract, of
the cranium, and of the skeleton, urographies, myelographies, vascular
and lungs examinations, bronchography. When fitted with a digital
acquisition system, it can also be used for angiographies.
The ID code of the equipment varies according to the type of collimator
and to the voltage.
Apollo is available with both standard and optional accessories. The
following table lists all the accessories and divides them as standard, i.e.
those usually coming with the equipment, and optional accessories,
which must be specifically requested when ordering the equipment.

PREPRE-INSTALLATION
The instructions on the following pages guarantee that the installation
performed will ensure the remote-controlled Apollo table will work
properly.
The Manufacturer can provide any technical consultancy and assistance
necessary right from the pre-installation stage (if requested, to check the
positioning of the equipment inside the X-ray room).
The room should be prepared for the installation of the Apollo table
according to the choice of the most suitable floor plate (Figure 5-1, Figure
5-2 or Figure 5-3) that will be selected considering that the maximum
weight of the equipment (weight of machine fitted with 16" IB and a
patient of 284kg / 626.1lbs) is about 2400kg (5280lbs).
Verify that the floor is able to support this weight on the fixing plate area.
According with the selected floor plate, position it as described below:
Standard floor fixing plate
Figure 5-1: Standard floor fixing plate (code 5584902000)

Remove the surface of the floor in an area measuring 420x1310 mm
(16.5"x51.6") until you reach the concrete of the slab, so that the top
surface of the plate is flush with the floor.
The concrete surface of the slab, under the plate, must be rough
enough to ensure the concrete to be poured adheres properly.
Position the plate and carefully level it so that the surface obtained is
as level as possible. The plate already has threaded holes and M16
bolts for the anchorage of the base; these holes must be protected
(e.g. by inserting the fixing bolts) so that they are not blocked up
during installation; pour the concrete with a cement/sand ratio of
1:2.5, remove the surplus and let it dry for six hours.

below.
NOTE:
The wire chains "A" and "B" (Figure 6-10) are made in such as way that
they can be opened to permit the wires to be inserted. Take care to note
when opening the chains the location of the individual covers. As these
are not all the same, they will have to be put back properly when the
chains are closed.
At this stage only the machine wires can be set up so as to permit
powering the table and to make the remaining installation process stage
easier, or the system wires can also be connected (high tension cables,
anode, etc.). How to proceed in this regard is a matter for the installer's
own discretion. When you decide also to connect the system wires it is
advisable to refer to paragraph 6.7 for tube-collimator group installation.

House the group of cables leaving chain "A" in chain "B". Some of
these wires are much shorter than others. The shorter ones should
be connected to the A11 base connector board and the longer ones in
the table's electrical cabinet and that of the generator if you wish also
to connect up the system cables.
3. Before you start, chain "B" should be positioned as in Figure 6-11.
4. It is advisable at this stage not to close the wiring chain but just to
install some covers so as to secure the wires inside them. Connect
wires X20, X46, X75, X77, X88, X96, X97 and X98 to the A11 base
connector board (Figure 6-12), threading them through "C" (Figure

transformer inside the cabinet. Connect the ground cable to the rod
(W1) in the cabinet.
9. Connect the system cables to the rest of the accessories when it is
decided wire them up during the procedures described above.
NOTE:
To avoid insurgence of an alarm condition at switch ON it is necessary to
install the collimator (see paragraph 6.7) and connect it by cable X45 or
simulate collimator presence; in this case it is possible for example to use
a male CANNON 37 pin connector with two voltage partitions built by a
resistor of 4.7k between pins X45-18 and X45-32, a resistor of 4.7k
between pins X45-16 and X45-32, a resistor of 4.7k between pins X4519 e X45-33 and a resistor of 4.7k between pins X45-17 and X45-33.
At this point the machine can be turned on and perform movements. In
this stage the mechanical alignment of the moving beams with respect to
the basement must be checked and possibly corrected. In order to do so
proceed as follows:
10. Move de equipment up/down and tilt it in both directions; if the
middle beam during same movements is in touch with parts of the
basements, proceed as by the following step, otherwise will be not
necessary other adjustments.
11. Release the two screws fixing the basement to the ground on the left
side of the basement, i.e. close to the regulation grubs.
12. Act on the regulation grubs to correct deformations of the side wall of
the basement: the process is of the trial and error type. Usually it is
advisable to screw in the grub on the opposite side where the
interference is present in the up-down movement of the beam.
13. Tight again the screws holding the basement to the ground.
14. Check again the movements following the procedure from step 10.
15. Make a few tilting movements to verify the correct situation and stop
the procedure.
This procedure should be repeated at the end of installation when the
table is loaded with all its accessories (II, X-ray tube, table top, ecc.)

Installation of the Tube - Collimator group

NOTE:
International regulations require that the total filtration of the X-ray
beam must be greater than 2.5 mm Al.eq.
The Villa collimators have 0.5 mm Al.eq. filtration; The Ralco collimators
have 1.0 mm Al.eq. filtration;
Taking into consideration the filtration in the ray tube, as shown on its
technical plate, add the necessary filtration with the aluminium disks
provided with the tube or with the collimator kit; these disks can be
inserted into the ray output window.
NOTE:
The collimator kit consists of the following:
collimator fastening cone H=17 mm (0.7")
additional 0.5 mm Al filters
collimator installation spacers of 1.5 mm (0.06") and of 3 mm (0.1")
6x25 and 6x30 fastening screws
1. Position the tube support in the corresponding fastening pin so as to
join together the two tube rotation release levers (Figure 6-27). Insert
the support screw onto the pin and tighten in the position that it is
best for the installation of the tube.

NOTE:
Point 2 only applies where the system is supplied with the Villa or the
Ralco collimator.
2. Position the tube on the support and at the same time apply the
collimator fastening cone (Figure 6-28). When doing this take due
account of the distance between the tube focus and the
cone/collimator plane; to ensure proper correspondence between the
field of the rays and the collimator light field, this distance must be
801 mm (3.15"0.04"). To do this the collimator kit's spacers have to
be used (refer to the technical data that comes with the X-ray tube to
determine the point of focus). Fix in position with the collimator's
screws, taking account of the fact that the choice of screw length is
determined by the number of spacers employed.
WARNING:
Incorrect choice of screw length may lead to inadequate fastening of the
X-ray tube group where short screws are used or possible damage to the
casing if the screws used are too long.
3. Install the collimator on the cone using the four fastening hooks and
connect it to the X45 cable.
The collimator cable length is calculated to permit machine servicing
even when the collimator is out of beam. With the group at 0
rotation, the corresponding micro safety switch inside the arm must
be in n.a. condition.

4. Wire up the cables inside the arm (Figure 6-29).

The cables must be arranged so that the tube can rotate without
them getting damaged. The abundance required for that to be
permitted will be hidden inside the arm's top cover. Make sure the
micro safety switch's cable with the tube at 0 is anchored to the arm
so that it is independent from the rest of the cables. These must be
as far as possible free from clamps, with just the minimum
indispensable, to prevent damage on tube rotation. It is advisable
only to use the fastening points indicated for the machine.

5. Once the cabling inside the X-ray tube support arm and checked its
functionality, after having tested the rotation of the X-ray tube
proceed to mount the arm cover (Figure 6-30 4 screws preset on the
column stand + 8 screws on the arm). To complete this operation it is
necessary to power the SID and remove the chain and its right side
support (Figure 6-31) gaining access to the fixing screws on the
column stand.
6. Join the cover to the X-ray tube support by the two front half circles

Final verifications
Once the mechanical installation has been completed, it is necessary to
configure the Apollo table and check its functionality.
To do so proceed as follows:
(Rev. 3)
Check that the beam movement does not interfere with the basement
and if necessary implement the corrective actions described in the
procedure at the end of paragraph 6.5, point from 8 to 13
Centre the middle beam into plastic sliding parts of the base when
tilting angle is negative (trendelembourg) as described on
paragraph 6.5, items from 10 to 15
Enter the room dimension data (see paragraph 11.1)
Enter configuration parameters (see paragraph 11.1)
Measure the current real speed of the movements (see paragraph

11.1); this operation is fundamental in case the power line is 60Hz
Check the functionality of all movements for the different functional

modalities (Spot film device, Tomography, Angiography, Digital) and
verify the anticollision safeties
After having completing the calibration of the X-ray tube, implement

centering procedures for X-ray tube Collimator - Serial Changer - II
(see chapter 19)
Check that the cassette pusher position is correctly adjusted in

function of the cassette type used.
It must press in such a way the cassette position is maintained also
with table in vertical position, but without create a critical condition
for cassette ejection. The check must be done with minimum 18x24
(8"x10") and 35x43 (14"x17") cassettes size. If the pusher adjustment
is not optimized, unlock the 6 fixing screws and slide the pusher
plate "A" in the required direction (Figure 6-37).

The functioning logic of the table
THE FUNCTIONING LOGIC

LOGIC OF THE
TABLE
The Apollo table has been designed with an electronic leading-edge
management and control circuit.
The circuit is based on PCBs called:
A1 CPU PCB
A2 "input" PCB
A3 "output" PCB
A4 Spot Film Device motor "power driver" PCB (not present in "All
Digital" version)
A14 "control panel" PCB
A15 "compressor motor command" PCB (not present in the version

without compressor).
A16 "additional collimator filters control" PCB (for collimator with

motorized additional filters movement version only).
It is easy to deduce what the function of the PCBs listed above is from
their names and they are situated in the electrical cabinet with exception
of the control panel PCB.
Some information about the characteristics of the system's CPU that
could come in useful, is given below.
The "control panel" A14 PCB is fitted with a Motorola MC68332
processor and a 128K x8 Eprom.
The job of the program contained in this Eprom is to decode the state of
the joystick and the keys and send this information to the CPU on the
CAN BUS.
Moreover, its job is also to receive the status of the led and the graphic
and alphanumeric strings to show on the display, again from the CPU.
The A1"CPU" PCB is also equipped with a Motorola MC68332 processor
the job of which is to act as the main processor and a 512K x8 Eprom.
The incorporated program manages the entire functioning logic of the
equipment including, as said before, dialoguing with the control panel.
Also present are:
a flash eprom containing the alarm history and the machine cycle
times
an EEprom containing the equipment set up data and the positions

related to MODE 1-2-3 keys.
a Ram containing the date and time. Furthermore, the data regarding
the alarm history and the machine cycles are initially deposited in
the Ram and every ten minutes they are transferred to the flash
eprom.

There is also an AT89C2051 processor on the CPU that functions as a

Supervisor microprocessor with an internal eprom containing the
supervision and serial and parallel control program for the channels
responsible for the movements.
The release of the equipment management software contained in the
Eprom on the CPU is shown on the control panel display for three

7.1
Functioning sequences
7.1.1
Powering up and initialisation sequence

On powering up the electronics of the CPU, the control panel, the input
PCB and part of the output PCB is powered through the T2 transformer.
At this point the main processor and the controller begin to perform the
checks that can make sure all the conditions are regular.
If that is the case, both the main processor and the controller activate the
respective "ready" relay after an interval of three seconds.
The open contacts of these two relays are connected in series.
One phase of the coil of the power remote switch K1L is interrupted by
the series of these two relays.
When they are activated, they therefore permit the energising of the K1L
that, through the closure of its contacts, will power the table's power
circuits.
At this point, the procedure for the initialisation of the Spot Film Device
begins the purpose of which is to move the inside parts of the Spot Film
Device to the default positions.
While this is happening, i.e. from the time the power circuits have been
powered up and when the organs of the Spot Film Device have reached
the positions defined, all the movements of the table are disabled and the
control panel's display shows the flashing message.
"Initialisation. Please wait"
When the initialisation procedure is successfully completed, the control
panel display changes and shows the data for the active mode.
All the table movements and the functions will, at this point, be enabled.

SERVICE MANUAL
7.1.2
Activation sequence for a movement

When a joystick, enabled to activate a movement is pressed, 2
microswitches are activated simultaneously.
The first sends the movement activation signal, along the CAN BUS line,
from the control panel to the main PCB.
The second opens the single fault circuit (SF) that is controlled either
from the main processor or the controller.
If all the conditions are in order, the processor will activate the circuits
that control the engines.
Once the feedback potmeter is launched it informs the processor about
the position and speed of the movement itself.
In order to indicate the working conditions, all the outputs are fitted with
a signalling led that lights up when an output, whether a movement
output or a controlling output for an external accessory, is active.
As a block diagram of the sequences described above, the below is useful
for explaining the functioning logic in even clearer terms.

Fault Conditions
Three different anomaly conditions can arise while the equipment is in
operation:
Condition fault
Operating fault
Power circuit faults.

These three different situations cause the consequences that are
analysed below.
7.2.1
Generation of a condition alarm

While the equipment is in operation a fault can occur in the table or one
of the accessories connected to it.
If this fault does not compromise the functioning of the system (Example:
the generator is not "ready" within the set time), a few movements are
disabled by the SW and the relative alarm flashes on the display of the
control panel accompanied by an intermittent "beep".
To remove the alarm and re-enable all the movements it will be necessary
to push the reset joystick downwards twice.
The first time silences the "beep", the second resets the alarm and
restores the normal conditions.
7.2.2
Generation of
of a operating alarm
If the processor recognises an abnormal situation caused by the SF
control or by other components interacting with the processor, that could
seriously compromise the functioning of the equipment, the READY
relays are deenergised and a flashing alarm appears on the control panel.
This condition cannot be reset as it is a serious fault.
A search must be made to see what the cause of this effect is.
To remove the alarm and re-enable the movements the equipment must
be turned off.
APOLLO
7-6
(Rev. 3)
SERVICE MANUAL
7.2.3
Generation
Generation of an alarm caused by the power circuit
If a movement of the table or the Spot Film Device should for any reason
go over the SW run determined by the potmeter, an emergency end of run
will be intercepted.
This will entail the turning off of the power remote switch K1L with the
consequent opening of the power control input (X15 pin 10).
This will mean the main processor will turn off the READY relays and the
controller and generate flashing alarm 080 on the control panel display.
It will therefore be necessary to turn off the equipment to remove the
alarm situation.
After removing the cause of the failure, the powering up procedure after
the power cutting out must be followed in order to restore the normal
operating conditions described in the relevant chapter.
As a block diagram of the sequences described above, the one below is
useful for explaining the functioning logic in even clearer terms.

DATA
ATA GROUPS
All the data necessary for the configuration, operation and adjustment of
the Apollo table, including the Checksum that is updated every time the
data varies, are contained in the EEprom.
When powering up, the data are compared, the Checksum of the data is
verified again and it is compared with that currently in the EEprom. If
there is no correspondence between the two pieces of data the alarm 090
is generated.
The data contained on the EEprom are sub-divided into "groups".
There can be up to 99 position "cells" inside each of these groups.
A storage position will therefore be configured with three figures of which:
Number of the group
00
Position of the cell
To access the read only function of the data contained in these cells it
will be enough to position the switch of the group of dip-switches on the
CPU at ON.
In order to be able to edit, therefore write new data in the cells, as well as
activating the switches, it will be necessary to key in an access code.
In the table below the subdivisions of groups of data and their functions,
the dip-switches to activate and the access codes to be keyed-in are
listed.
WARNING:
The Authorised Technician is recommended not to communicate these
codes so that non-authorised persons are prevented from entering the
memory cells and changing them, thereby causing the equipment to
malfunction.

WARNING:
The SID value must be 1080 mm (42.5") during adjustment. If the value
is different when the MODE2 acceptance of storage to memory key is
pressed, the value is not accepted in the memory and alarm "088 Wrong
SID" will be shown on the display.
The value of the position to reach varies as the SID varies so the SID
value is only correct when it is 1080 mm (42.5"). This value is the
dimension that the ray field (and light field for the convenience of the
measurement) must have at tabletop level.
3. By pressing the MODE3 and TEST keys it is possible to increase
and decrease the number of cells to be displayed, respectively. As
said beforehand, it is not possible in this phase to edit any
setting or perform any movement.
Data editing
1. Press key MODE1 and hold it down for 1 sec. When this time has
elapsed, the display will show:

Key in access code
where:
002 = number of the position for the input of the access codes
0000 = position for the access code (see chapter 9).
2. Press key MODE2. The display will show the flashing message
CORR that indicates it is possible to write the access code.
3. Set the code relative to this data group (see chapter 9) by means
of the keys that, in this condition, become numbers in
accordance with the schematic below.
This setting will appear by scrolling from right to left on the

position for the inputting of the code.

4. Press key MODE2 to confirm.

If the confirmation key is not pressed within 15 sec. of the inputting
of the last digit, the flashing CORR message disappears, what is
written disappears from the displays and the non-edited data
remains in the memory.
However, if the confirmation key is pressed within the specified time,
the display will show the message:
Access to groups 101 301 401

that indicates that it is possible to access groups 100-300-400,
thanks to the use of the code that has just been keyed in, in function
of which switches are positioned at ON.
If the code keyed in is wrong, the following message appears on the
screen, instead:
Code incorrect: access denied

In this case, the operations must repeated from number 2.
5. If the code is correct, hold key MODE1 down for one second.
The display returns to the position of the group 100 abandoned on
entry to position 002.

Potmeter adjustment
As said before, the Apollo table bases the control of its movements on
the feedback generated by the potmeters.
These potmeters must therefore be adjusted, the reference value of the
maximum and end run voltages must, that is to say, be stored in the
corresponding cells in the EEprom.
At this point it will be possible to edit the data of the cells making up this
group.
It will also be possible to perform the movements for the adjustment of
the potmeters by using the compressor movement joystick.
In this program, only this joystick will be active (with the exception of the
adjustment of the beam and middle beam movements and collimator as
described further on) and the motor that is activated will depend on the
cell that is set.
If the joystick is pushed upwards, the direction of the set movement will
be towards its maximum and the potmeter value shown on the display
will increase.
If the joystick is pushed downwards, the direction of the movement will
be the opposite, towards its minimum, and the potmeter value will
decrease.
In this program the speed of the PDI movements are set permanently in
the adjustment software and cannot be modified.
To carry out the adjustment, and therefore memorise the new potmeter
value, key MODE2 must be pressed.
The display will show the following for three seconds:
**** ACCEPTED ****

to confirm that the memorisation has been successful.
At the same time, the data in brackets at the side of the group number
and position is updated with the new value.
WARNING:
During the adjustment phase, the anticollision program is not active so,
before performing any movement, make sure that that there is not risk of
collision during it.
Furthermore, since the software end runs are set in this program no
stopping on them is activated.
If the set run is exceed, the movement will hit the emergency switch
causing the equipment to stop.

SERVICE MANUAL
10.1.1
Cell data and list

The limits of the movements are set by default during the factory's
predelivery testing of the equipment.
These limits are shown on the display depending on the cell that is set.
It is possible to vary these limits by modifying the data in the cells of
group 400, but in practice this operation is never performed. In fact this
modifies the functional characteristics of the table.
Furthermore, in order to ensure maximum safety also in cases where
there is a malfunction in the movement electronics control, there are
hardware emergency switches positioned in such a way as to cut in when
the software end run does not stop the movement. These positions break
the power supply to the hardware circuits (they determine the opening of
the K1L remote switch). Thus any modification of the run limits also
entails the mechanical repositioning of these switches.

Position 133 does not refer to a potmeter but is used for the adjustment
of the switches of the end runs of the I.I. lift assembly when fitted. When
one switch is active on the display the ON value is shown, while the other
has the OFF value.
As said before, the default value that the movement must reach at the
minimum and maximum is shown on the display.
Once this position has been reached, the potmeter must indicate a near
value (a tolerance of up to 100 units can be reached) as shown in the
following table.
If not, release the potmeter, reach the position required with the
movement then turn the potmeter until reaching the indicated value.
Lock the potmeter in position and store the value to memory.
Compliance with this value makes it possible to ensure that the potmeter
is not damaged mechanically as a result of a position that leads to exceed
its mechanical stop, and the potmeter is used in the central area, thus
avoiding using the limits that often turn out to be critical.

minimum and maximum positions, it will be shown how to measure the
value to reach, on the next few pages by means of pictures and
descriptions.
In some cases, this measurement is different from what is shown on the
display, as shown in the last column of the proceeding table.
This is because the indicated value is the result of software calculations
having table points of origin as a reference but, in some case, it is
intricate and difficult to make these measurements in practice.
This is why points other than those shown in the figures have been
chosen to facilitate the calibration.

ANGULATION potmeter adjustment (cells 101 102)

To carry out this adjustment, it is necessary to remove the covers of the
scan group.
At this point, the Spot Film Device support plate can be seen showing the
column tilting reference marks.
The limits of the angulation are obtained by bringing the upper edge of
the column to correspond to reference lines on the Spot Film Device
support.
With a level goniometer it will be possible to carry out a further check of
the soundness of the min and max positions reached.
Take the column towards the minimum (head side), select cell 101 and
store to memory.
Repeat the operation for the maximum (feet side) and memorise in cell

SCAN potmeter adjustment (cells 103 104)

Before starting the adjustment of this movement, you must:
1. Move the table into a horizontal position with the lift higher than the
minimum position. This ensures that when the scan is moved over its
full travel it does not create risks of collision between the II and the
floor.
2. Remove the left-hand cover of the scan group.
3. Remove the main beam's left-hand side cover.
Move the scan towards the minimum position (head side) that must be
found between the outer left-hand limit of the main beam and the side of
the Spot Film Device base plate. The point to be reached is 52 mm (2.0").
Select cell 103 and memorise the minimum value.
Move the carriage to the maximum position (feet side) and find the
1652 mm (65.0") measurement among the same references used for the

MAIN BEAM and MIDDLE BEAM potmeter adjustment

(cells 105 108)
When the main beam movement cells are select, as for all the other
adjustments, the movement is enabled by the compressor joystick.
Since just the main beam movement would make it impossible to reach
some positions, it is possible also to activate the middle beam movement
by means of the SID joystick.
The movements cannot take place at the same time, but the activation of
one excludes the other.
To carry out the minimum main beam and middle beam adjustment, it is
necessary to remove the II and, if a lift is present, bring the II attachment
plate to the high position.
Move the main beam in such a way that there is access to the verification
of the middle beam position. Move the middle beam downwards until it
ends up flat, while checking it with a bubble level (Figure 10-3); select
cell 107 and memorise the minimum middle beam value.

SERVICE MANUAL
WARNING:
In the main beam and middle beam adjustment phase, there are risks
that could damage the equipment very seriously.
In fact the combination of the main beam and middle beam movements
carried out incorrectly could cause a collision between the structure of
the main beam and the structure of the middle beam or a collision
between the main beam motor tube and the structure of the middle
beam. While in the first case the main beam-middle beam collision safety
switch protects the equipment, in the second a manoeuvring error would
cause irreparable damage to the main beam motor tube by bending it.
It is therefore fundamental, in addition to paying the utmost attention
before and during the activation of the movements, to follow the
instructions below to the letter.
At this point take the main beam towards the bottom until the extension
of the mechanical tube reaches 430 mm (16.9") (Figure 10-6) to be
measured between the extreme limit of the actuator and the upper edge
of the outside tube of the actuator.

2. Insert a 35x43 (14"x17") cassette (35/14" height side direction)
resting it on the lower guide.
NOTE:
The cassette to use must be one of those the radiology room is equipped
with. This is because the check must be done under the worst operating
conditions (maximum weight in the lifting mode).

3. Operate the cassette insertion control.

If the adjustment is correct, the switch must never cut in while the
cassette is moving upwards until both the guides are touching the
cassette and an approximately 10 movement scale movement seen on
the graded scale has been performed.
If this is not the case, work on the switch activating cam to bring its
intervention forward or delay it.
WARNING:
An adjustment that is not high enough (< 5 kg / 11.0 lbs) causes the
switch to cut in early during the test described above.
An adjustment that is too high (> 7 kg / 15.4 lbs) causes pressure that is
to great between the drive belts and cassette meaning the cassette has

The dead band is the "the window" around the set point, that once
reached turns off the movement. The smaller this value is, the more

Group 300 PDI controlled motor data

data
This group contains the values linked to the operation of the motors
controlled using the PDI (proportional, derived, integral) method.
Default data input during factory testing is present in the various cells.
This data is essential for the proper functioning of the equipment.
Before varying any data of this program whatsoever it is important to
understand its meaning, its function and the possible consequences,
thoroughly.
The brief explanation given below is useful to better understand the
function of the various cells present for each of the motors controlled
using this system.
11.2.1
Theory of functioning of an axis with PID control

To move an axis, the control software must know:
the departure point of the movement
the point of arrival.

The departure point is known because it corresponds with the position in
which the axis is.
The arrival point is determined by the choice made when a movement is
selected.
To reach the arrival point it is therefore necessary to describe a
trajectory.
This trajectory will be created thanks to the data inserted in the cells
containing the speed and acceleration values.
To perform the movement it will therefore be necessary for the software to
carry out two separate functions:
the generation of the trajectory
following the trajectory.
Generation of the trajectory

The software constructs a variable that represents the point where
the movement should be moment by moment.
This variable is called the theoretical trajectory.
Having the departure point as the origin, the generation of the
theoretical trajectory consists of:
a ramp, i.e. a stretch of acceleration that rises steadily linearly
a stretch of constant speed
a deceleration ramp with acceleration equal to the acceleration

ramp but with a negative sign.
The speed and acceleration values used for the generation of the
theoretical trajectory are those inserted in the relative cells.
(Rev. 3)
11-17
APOLLO
SERVICE MANUAL
Following the trajectory

The following of the theoretical trajectory constructs a variable that
generates the real trajectory.
This variable will then be translated into the reference signal (Vref),
sent to the activation that controls the axis motor.
This signal will be modulated in such a way as to approximate the
theoretical trajectory as closely as possible.
This variable is the sum of three components:
Proportional
The proportional part is product of the multiplication:
"instantaneous error" X "proportional gain"

where:
the instantaneous error is given by the difference between

the real position (monitored by the feed back of the potmeter
or encoder) and that theoretical (calculated by the generation
of the trajectory)
the proportional gain is inserted in the dedicated cell.
Integral
The integral part is product of the multiplication:
"sum of the errors" X "integral gain"

where:
the sum of the errors is obtained by the sampling conducted

every millisecond that calculates the positioning error
between the real trajectory and the theoretical one.
The error can take a negative and positive value according to
whether the real trajectory is before or after the theoretical
one.
The sum of all these errors sampled will be algebraic, that is
to say, it will take the error's negative or positive sign into
account.
The sum of the errors will therefore be a number that is
accumulated during the accomplishment of the whole
trajectory.
the integral gain is inserted in the dedicated cell.
APOLLO
11-18
(Rev. 3)
SERVICE MANUAL
Derivative
The derivative part is the product of the multiplication:
"error difference between 2 samplings" X "derivative gain"

where:
the error difference between samplings, is calculated on

the basis of an interval time that must be set in the dedicated
cell.
This interval expressed in msec. is called "derivative sampling
period".
The position error, i.e. the difference between the real and the
theoretical trajectories, is calculated at each sampling.
The difference between the error detected in a sampling and
the error detected in the next sampling shows the extent to
which the actual trajectory has changed its position with
respect to the theoretical one.
the derivative gain is inserted in the dedicated cell.

So far the following fields have been analysed:
Proportional gain
Integral gain
Period of derivative sampling
Derivative gain
Here below is a brief analysis of the remaining fields responsible for the
control of a PDI axis.
(Rev. 3)
Integration limit
This is the maximum value that the sum of the integral action errors
can assume.
If the sum of the errors exceeds the value set in this cell, it will be
limited in accordance with the limit set.
If the data set in this cell is 0 no limitation will be performed.
This parameter avoids action that is too extreme in the case that the
sum assumes values that are considerable.
Motor STOP error

When the difference between the actual and the theoretical position
of a movement reaches a value that is equal to the one set in the cell,
the movement will be stopped.
11-19
APOLLO
SERVICE MANUAL
APOLLO
Delay motor turning off

This delay is the time after which, at the end of the run, the motor is
turned off.
This time allows to make up for a possible real positioning error as
opposed to a theoretical one.
This allows the integral action to complete its function.
By inserting the value 0 the movement is never stopped.
Braking time
This value permits to ramp down the motion independently of the
acceleration ramp. The time inserted into these cells is equal to the
time the motion employs to pass from the actual speed to 0 in a
linear way. This occurs regardlessly of the real position with respect
to the theoretical one. In this case, the integral position recovery
actions are not carried out and the motor turning off delay does not
have effect. This braking modality is used for the following
movements: main beam, middle beam, scan and angulation.

Group 400 / 500 / 600 Dimensions and runs

This group contains data that have various functions.
The function of the various cells is listed in the following tables divided
by groups.
11.3.1
Range of runs carried out by movements with potmeter

feedback
As explained in the chapter about potmeters adjustment, the limit to
reach for the calibration is shown on the display.
This limit is set in this block of data.
To vary the value of the set default data means to adjust the movement
run range.
This will entail:
the variation of the equipment specification
the adjustment of the potmeter minimum and maximum calibration
the adjustment of the emergency switches position.

Moreover, it will be necessary to check if the movement mechanics can
sustain such variation.
The software will divide the new run range by the number of potmeter's
points that are going to be sampled between the minimum and maximum
value of the new run.
WARNING:
Do not modify the data in this group as they are linked to the operative
characteristic of the equipment.

In this cell is it is possible to force-set the minimum value of the main

beam movement potmeter. This avoids removing the I.I. to perform the
calibration. To correctly perform this calibration procedure, it will be
necessary to calculate the data to input by checking the difference
between the previously stored minimum and maximum values and the
value corresponding to the maximum of the new calibration. The same
previous difference between the two values shall be applied.
Example: previous Mx = 3600 min = 500 difference = 3100
New max value = 3450 new val to input = 350 obtained applying the
3100 difference to the new max value.
Maximum main beam forced setting
In this cell is it is possible to set manually the maximum value of the
main beam movement potmeter, in the case that it is not possible to
reach the normal maximum position due to limitations of the room.

The value in cell 235 represents the average speed for the transversal
tabletop movement (see paragraph 11.1.1). As the real speed will never be
identical to the stored speed, during the movement, an error will indicate

The number to store in this cell must take into account possible
movements caused by the momentum of inertia after the movement
arrest.
The measurement unit is expressed in "potmeter points", in other words,
a value corresponding to the unit after the AD conversion.
The greater this value the wider the movement carried out with request
prior to the processor displaying the alarm. For potentially "dangerous"
movements potmeters, a cell is available for each movement (see following

Spot Film Device cassette and shutters run

This block contains the runs carried out by the Spot Film Device cassette
and shutters to perform the various cassettes subdivisions and the
relative limitation.
In case the separating lines of the X-rays of some subdivisions are not
perfect, it is possible to modify these values, by following closely the
instructions reported in the dedicated chapter.
NOTE:
The cassette and shutters positioning might not correspond to the
measure in the relative cell because of the mechanical inertia of the
system.
In every way the correction in mm introduced in the cells has an
increment and decrement effect in the final amount equal to the value of
the correction.
For rapid consultation and interpretation, the runs and the relative cells

11.3.4.1 Calculation of the cassette run

The calculation is based on the distance of cassette internal side, when
the same is in the parking position, with respect to centre of the Spot
Film Device. Such distance is divided into 2 parts:
the distance of the cassette size photosensor from the centre of the
Spot Film Device (227 mm / 8.9")
the distance of the cassette size photosensor from the internal side of
the Spot Film Device (484 mm / 19.0")
The 484 mm (19.0") figure is such as the distance of the photosensor
from the bottom of the Spot Film Device (cell 444) is 472 mm (18.6") but
the cassette parking position is set by the SW at:
5 mm (0.2") from the bottom at the end of cassette insertion
20 mm (0.8") from the bottom when caming back from a preparation
or test run
NOTE:
Distances given in the tables an stored in the cells are referred to a
parking position of the cassette at 20 mm (0.8") from the bottom of the
Spot Film Device. The correction, when the parking position is at 5 mm
(0.2") from the bottom, is carried out automatically by the software which
increases the distances in the table of 15 mm (0.6").
Note that it is possible to store a new negative or positive offset value (cell
219) to compensate the differences due to manufacturing or operating
characteristics. This offset will permit to modify all runs of all
subdivisions of the stored quantity.
The formulas applied to determine the runs are as follows:
Full size
C = (cassette width / 2) 711
where 711 = 227 + 484
Subdivision 2 in line and 4 cross

C = full size run +/- (film / 4)
APOLLO
Subdivision 3 in line and 6 cross

C = full size run +/- (film / 3)
Subdivision 4 in line
C = full size run +/- (3/8 film) and (1/8 film)

11.3.4.2 Calculation of the shutters run

The calculation is based on the typical measures of the Spot Film Device
reported below:
distance film-upper shutter
distance film-lower shutter
mean distance film-shutters
minimum source to film distance
maximum source to film distance.

The origin position for the calculation of all runs is the one relative to the
calibration of the shutters minimum potmeter, i.e. when the shutters are
wide open.
As to line subdivisions, this position is equal to a 475 mm opening,
therefore to obtain an opening equal to 0 mm the shutters will have to
move of 475/2 mm.
As to cross subdivisions, the window opening start will require a run
equal to (475/2)+180=417.5 mm., where 180 mm is the width of the
small shutter.
Therefore to obtain an opening equal to 0 mm for cross subdivisions, the
shutters will have to move of 417.5 mm.
In the calculation of the formats to limit, the values KG (radiography
correction), calculated with min SID, will be used.
This allows to obtain a separation line between 2 adjacent radiograms
with min SID and a thicker line with higher SIDs.
Should a KG be used, calculated with SID greater than the min, the
obtained separation lines would be too thin or radiograms would overlap
in case of SIDs smaller that the one used for the KG calculation.
Calculation of the constant of exposure subdivisions

correction (KG)
KG = distance source-shutters / source to film distance
Calculation shutters opening in Full size

Format to limit in full size mode = (Film + 2) * KG
where:
2 = measure in mm in addition to the format to ensure the X-rays
cover the film completely
Calculation of the opening for Subdivision

Format subdivision = ([(Film - (2 * N.div)] / N.div) * KG
Dimension of the shutter run for subdivisions in line

Run = (426 / 2) - (Fsubdiv / 2)
Dimension of the shutter run for cross subdivisions

Run = 393 + (Fsubdiv / 2)

Safety aspects for PDIPDI-controlled movements

In case the PDI value generated by the software and sent to the motors'
activations differs from the feedback speed supplied by the potmeters or
by the encoders, the system must be able to recognise this effect and
therefore bring the equipment to a halt.
This inconvenient may be caused by a mechanical hardening or by a gear
slippage at the potmeter.
For each of the PDI-controlled movements, 2 values determine the
variance amount between PDI and speed, and the time beyond which this
variance triggers an alarm:
Variance time
It is expressed in seconds and it allows to mask possible spikes of the
value of the PDI value determined by friction or typical momentum of
inertia at the start.
In case a real problem occurs, the larger is this time, the longer will
be the movement before an alarm is issued.
K factor
This factor divides the PDI (PDI/k) value.
The software compares the value of the speed with the PDI/k value.
Being k the denominator of the fraction, the greater will be k, the
smaller will be the result of the fraction.
As the alarm is issued if PDI/k > speed, the smaller is the PDI/k
value the more a mechanically "rigid" movement will be accepted
without issuing any alarm.
By and large, the greater are the time values and k, which are set for
each movement, the more the movement will accept "hardenings",
allowing a non-controlled wide movement before issuing an alarm.

Table test
The table will cyclically perform movements that allow to check the
correct functioning of the various organs.
WARNING:
As the movements are activated automatically without opening the SF
circuit, during this test, the supervisor is disabled. Therefore its K3 ready
relay does not close. In order to perform the test, make a jumper on the
connector X47 between pins 6 and 7.
Remove the jumper at the end of the test.
WARNING:
The test is conceived in such a way to limit the movements in case
collisions occur. Nonetheless pay always attention during automatic
movements performed by this program. Particularly during the first
cycle, stay close to the emergency red button and be ready to activate it if
any risk condition occurs.
The following message is displayed:

SERVICE MANUAL
A test cycle is structured in a way that the following positionings are

carried out:
SID ascent with concurrent compressor descent. When the limit is

reached, the movements invert the direction until they bring
themselves back with minimum SID and compressor in the parking
position
angulation towards the head, inversion until feet end of run and
return to 0
scan movement towards head concurrent with table inward

movement. When the limit is reached, the movements invert their
direction until they reach the scan feet side and external table end of
run. Return of both movements to the centre
tilting towards Trendelembourg, movement inversion till reaching the

vertical end of run, then return to 0.
At the end of the tilting movement, the number of cycles increases by one
unit and the cycle picks up again with the SID and compressor
movement.
The number of exposures can be modified by pressing button MODE2 to
enable the correction and by keying in the desired number by means of
the numeric keypad.
In case the room where the table is installed is of dimensions such that
the complete excursion of some movement is not possible, the test will
stop the movement in proximity of the collision limit.

The Apollo table stores the activation times of the various movements
besides the number of exposures and, if present, the number of
movements of the I.I. lift.
This memorisation permits to check the wear and tear of the various
organs with respect to the working time, and permits to evaluate whether
preventative maintenance is necessary.
When technical maintenance entailing the replacement of organs takes
place, each movement activation time can be reset independently of the
other movements.
The cycles and times view is shown on 3 pages. To scroll the views, use
button MODE3 to scroll down and button TEST to scroll up.
Following the 3 cycles and times views, 15 reset pages for each data are
available.
The 8-digit exposure number increases each time an exposure is carried
out. This holds for the Spot Film Device, digital and direct modality.
The 7-digit number of cycles of the I.I. lift increases each time the I.I.
ascends or descends.
The activation of all other movements is displayed as time in minutes
and seconds. The common fraction of the 4-digit view indicates the
minutes, the 2-digit decimal fraction indicates the seconds.
In the same way as for the alarm memorisation, data are stored
temporarily in the RAM and every 10 minutes are permanently stored in
the Flash Eprom.
Following is a representation of the view relative to this group.

SINGLE FAULT OPERATING

OPERATING LOGIC
The scope of the Single Fault is a redundant check on the activation
circuits of the table movements, i.e. those functions that may be
dangerous to the patient if they are not under control.
This safety measure is devised in such as way that, if a single fault at a
time occurs (hence the term Single Fault), to the various levels of the
chain the movement consists of, the system can identify the fault and
take the appropriate action that brings the movement to an immediate
halt.
The movements of:
tilting lift
angulation
scan
transversal tabletop movement
source to film distance (SID)
compressor
which are present on the remote-controlled table comply with the abovedescribed SF safety measures.
All controls relative to the above-listed movements, which are present on
both on the console and on the double control, together with the fluoro
and X-ray preparation movements, which are present on the pedal or on
the button, can be realised with a double microswitch (S).
The first S is connected on the open contact (NA) and will be responsible
for the movement request.
The second is connected to a closed contact (NC) and is connected in
series with all second S that feature the SF safety function.
The series connection permits to have a single wire that is sent to an
input that reaches both the main processor and the supervisor.
The control logic bases the SF check on the correspondence of the SF
circuit and of the movements request.
Both conditions must be fulfilled in order to guarantee the activation of
the movement (SF circuit open, movements request circuit close).
Moreover, thanks to the feedback of the potmeters of each "movement
group", the main processor is able to recognise if a movement is active
without an active request.
To complete the redundant checks on all levels, a second processor called
supervisor is connected via serial and parallel port (on the above-listed
movements outputs) to the main processor.
(Rev. 3)
12-1
APOLLO
SERVICE MANUAL
Single Fault operating logic
This permits to check a possible malfunctioning of the main processor

that will have to manage in a consistent way the serial and parallel data
to the output ports.
2 relays called ready relays (K2 and K3) are controlled each by a
processor and the contact are connected in series.
The series of contacts interrupts the supply of the magnetic switch that
supplies the power circuits. If any anomaly is detected, one or both
processors stop exciting the relative relay and interrupt immediately any
movement.
Thanks to such HW and SW logic, each organ responsible for the
movement is monitored and if a failure on the movement activation
circuit occurs, the system can detect and interrupt the movement itself
generating an alarm.

FUNCTIONALITY
13.1
Collision
When activating one or more movements, one part of the equipment
might reach the safety limit beyond which a collision with the walls, the
ceiling or the floor might occur.
This limit, set by means of group 200 cells, represents an imaginary
insuperable software barrier beyond which it is impossible to move for
any part of the equipment.
When a part of the equipment reaches this limit, the movement that
determined this situation is stopped.
The message LIMIT REACHED is displayed until the activation of a
command that informs the operator that some movements might be
disabled.
The parts of the table that can collide with walls, floor or ceiling are: the
image intensifier, the extremities of the main beam (corresponding to the
extremities of the tabletop), the compressor and the tube-collimator
group.
When the extremities of the main beam, the intensifier or the compressor
reach such limit, movements commands that can bring the element into
collision are suddenly inhibited. On the other hand, movements
commands that can bring the components away from the collision point
are free.
When the intensifier reaches the limit towards the floor because of the
scan movement, the message SCAN LIMIT is displayed.
Should this limit be reached because of the tilting movement instead,
depending on where the movement comes from and is directed to
(example from 90 towards 0 or from 0 towards +90 etc.), the piloting
algorithm of the main beam and middle beam motors is adjusted by
activating an anti-collision function.
This will allow the intensifier to move out of the limit area without
stopping the movement and with no need for the operator to adjust the
patient centering position.
As for the tube-collimator group, because of the particular Apollo table
lift-tilting function, all those movements that apparently may not be
dangerous but, if they continued, could increase the risk of collision are
inhibited.
Following are 4 tables with the representations of the various conditions.
Each representation is a "LIMIT REACHED" condition for the tubecollimator group with the right wall, the left wall, the ceiling and the
floor.

reached.
"0" referred to the tilting means that the table is in the horizontal
position, "+" indicates that the table is inclined towards the vertical
position and "-" that the table is inclined towards the Trendelemburg.
"0" referred to the angulation indicates that the column is perpendicular
to the table, "+" indicates that the column is inclined towards the feet
and "-" that it is inclined towards the head.
The 5 following couples of columns report the movements and relative
directions responsible for the direct or indirect movement of the tubecollimator group.
The YES cells indicate that the movement is free, while the NO cells
indicated that the movement is inhibited.
The grey cells indicate that the potential collision will never occur for that
particular combination of tilting angle and angulation angle.

Anticollision
Anticollision barrier
When the room where the device is installed has irregularities in its
geometry that make necessary supplemental anticollision measures, the
Apollo table can be protected against the risk of collision with these
geometrical irregularities of the room.
Depending from the specific needs it is possible to implement light
barrier sensors or antenna switches that when activated prevent table
components from hitting obstacles of the room.
Connection of these safety devices must be done so that it sends 0V to
input X0-17 when operating conditions are correct; when the safety
barrier is infringed the input must open
Once the anticollision sensor is activated, the movement in progress is
stopped and a message is displayed:
<< LIMIT BARRIER >>
with an intermittent buzzer sound.
To exit this condition and restore normal operation of the system, it will
be possible to activate only the movement that had generated the "limit
barrier" alarm in the opposite direction.
All other commands (joystick on console and keys on the on-board
keypad) are disabled until the message "limit barrier" is removed.
If the limit barrier is activated in the following conditions:
switch on of the system
access to tomography functionality
access to angiographic functionality
during execution of a Tomography test
during execution of a step angiography test
movement to reach a stored position by means of command "0".
the movement is stopped and the active functionality, if any, is reset.
In this condition no joystick or button of the on board keyboard is active,
then to exit from this "limit barrier" lock it is necessary to proceed with a
"bypass" procedure as outlined here below.
Keeping pressed at the same time keys F4 and F5, positioned in the
lower end of the display, ALL movement commands by joystick or on
board keyboard are enabled, making possible to start any movement.
This "bypass" procedure is always possible when the "limit barrier"
condition has been reached.
WARNING:
This "bypass" procedure can be very dangerous since a wrong command
can cause any part of the table to hit the obstacle in the room. Before
giving any movement command it is necessary to check carefully which
movement will bring the table far away from the obstacle. In any case
always activate the movement with great care in short pulses.

Anti entrapment device

The Apollo table can be equipped with an anti-entrapment feature
(standard on C-CSA-US versions) which blocks the angulation movement
an the inner table top side movement should the patient come in contact
with the areas in which the anti-entrapment sensors are located.
In this case the angulation and/or inner table top side movements are
automatically blocked and it is possible to activate the unit only in the
opposite direction of that which caused the entrapment.
The circuit is realised in such a way if the safety membranes are pressed
the movement is blocked as described above, and if the circuit is broken
alarm 82 is generated.

Compressor
When the compressor is not in the parking position (i.e. when the high
end of run microswitch is released), by enabling angulation if column is
in a position between 15, tabletop or scan movements, the following
will occur:
the requested movement is not activated
the compressor goes up for:
0.5 sec for scan or tabletop movement
1.0 sec for angulation movement

after complete release of the compression force.
When the time limit is reached, the ascent stops and a confirmation
acoustic signal is issued.
Release and push again the movement joystick to activate the desired
movement.
The compressor ascent movement is as all Apollo table movements of the
"dead man" type, therefore, if during the compressor ascent the joystick
is released, the movement will stop.
By pushing the joystick once again, the ascent is enabled again for a time
depending on the current compression force without taking into account
the previous partial ascent.
Only after completion of the ascent, the requested movement will be free.
It will then be possible to move the patient, scan or column without risk
and, afterwards, compress the patient once again.
NOTE:
It is necessary to drive compressor up to park position to angulated the
column over the 15 limits.
When the compressor is not in park position and the column externally
to 15, by activating the angulation movement, the compressor is taken
back to the parking position.
The compressor releases the compression by enabling the cone ascent for
240 msecs if the potmeter exceeds the set dead band.
This happens typically when the patient makes a strong pressure on the
cone, such as by breathing.
NOTE:
Every time the compressor activates the parking switch, the set value of
the compressor force is forced to 5 kg (11.0 lbs).

The collimator operating modes are:
automatic
manual.
The automatic mode can in turn be associated to the Hold function.
The selection of the collimator operating mode depends both on the

Manual modality
If no program is selected, when the fluoro control is not active, by

means of the joystick it is possible to collimate a format
comprised between the minimum and maximum size.
The shutters inside the Spot Film Device follow the width axis of

Conversely, when the fluoro control is activated, the maximum
format available is equal to the selected I.I..
When selecting a program whose format is smaller than the

format of the selected I.I., the collimator positions itself on the
division format, which is the largest possible format. It will be
possible then to collimate, by means of the joystick, any format
comprised between the minimum and the subdivision format.
This condition is valid regardless whether the fluoro control is
activated or not.

Conversely, when the fluoro control is activated, the maximum
possible format is the one of the selected I.I. field.
The manual function LED on the console is always on regardless
whether the fluoro control is on or off.
In case the collimation is greater in comparison with the selected
I.I. field, by pressing the fluoro control, the collimation will be

When the fluoro control is released, the shutters go back to the
position in they had before the activation of the fluoro control.
At any time, the automatic collimator function may be selected.
Both axes will bring themselves on the selected I.I. format

If the equipment is powered off when the collimator is in the
manual mode, when powering back on, the automatic function
will be activated.
In case an iris collimator is present, the iris limitation control
buttons are not active and the iris will always be circumscribed
at the width and height axes.
Automatic modality
If no program is selected, by means of the joystick, it is possible

to collimate a format comprised between the set I.I. format and
the minimum one.
The shutters inside the Spot Film Device follow the width axis of
the collimator during this limitation.
When selecting a program whose format is smaller than the

format of the selected I.I., the collimator positions itself on the
division format, which is the largest possible format. It will be
possible then to collimate, by means of the joystick, any format
comprised between the minimum and the subdivision format.

Hold automatic modality

The functioning is identical to the automatic modality except for the
case in which during the fluoro a reduction by means of the joystick
of one of both axes is performed.
In this case when preparation is activated the collimator stays in the
position obtained by means of the joystick.
The same holds for the limitations performed by means of the iris.
Both collimators, with or without iris are fitted with a halogen lamp for
the patient centering without fluoro. By pressing the lamp collimator
button when the light is off the light goes on, by pressing the lamp
collimator button when the light is on the light goes off.
The light goes off anyhow after 45 secs. from the switching on.
WARNING:
The switching on and off cycle of the collimator lamp should not exceed 2
consecutive duty cycles followed by 180 secs. of switching off.
This work cycle ensures that the parts that might get into contact with
the patient do not reach high temperatures due to overheating of the
halogen lamp.

The Apollo table is designed in such a way to allow to store 3 operating
conditions.
Buttons MODE1, MODE2 and MODE3 permit to store and retrieve these
conditions, the joystick and the 0 key on the console and on the keypad
on board of the table permit to reach stored positions.
The 3 conditions are stored in the EEPROM and contain default values
when the equipment is shipped from the factory and every time that the
potmeters adjustment subroutine (group 100) is accessed.
Note that if the operator has stored positions different from the default
ones, by performing technical maintenance with access to group 100,
such memorised values will be lost. The same will happen if the EEPROM
is replaced.
When all 3 memories are default ones, the 3 LEDs relative to the MODE
buttons are off.
The default positions are as follows:
tilting at 0 with lift at minimum depending on the installed I.I.
scan in the middle
column at 0
SID on minimum
Tabletop in the centre
Compressor in parking position
Slow tilting speed
tabletop and scan movements orientation according to monitor.

To modify these stored values, bring the above-listed movements in the
desired positions and choose the 3 selections (tilting speed and
movement orientation) depending on the need.
After setting the above-mentioned values, press for 5 secs. the MODE
button you want to associate with the actual configuration.
At the end of the 5 secs. the following message is displayed:
<< POSITION STORED >>
To recall a condition, press the MODE button which the desired setting is
associated to. When the relative LED lights up, hold the joystick or key 0
pressed until the setting is completed.
The completion of such procedure is confirmed with the following

Standard tomographic
The tomographic mode presents various options: 4 different tomography
angles (7, 20, 30, 45) each of which can be associated with 2 speeds.
The layer can be set with steps of 1 mm from a value 0 (tabletop level) to
a value of 350 mm (13.8").
The direction of the tomographic movement can be from left to right or
viceversa and the automatic layer increase function can be selected.
This function automatically increases the level of the layer depending on
the angle set while respecting the "thickness of the cut" as shown below:
7 increase 30 mm (1.1")
It is possible to carry out tomography in rapid sequence (sequential
tomography).
In this mode all the possible options for standard tomography, the
automatic layer increase is always active.
At the end of the ray angle, the operating mode provides for the
immediate departure of the column for the next tomography.
The exposures will therefore be alternatively from left to right and vice
versa.

RUN
All the table movements are stopped by the software at the limits
established by the potmeters and stored in the EEprom.
All the table movements are equipped with hardware emergency end
runs, in case the software fails to stop for a malfunction, the emergency
microswitch positioned immediately after the end of the run software, is
engaged.
The emergency microswitches are connected in series and, if the circuit
opens, power is cut to the power supply main switch K1L.
All the power circuits are broken ensuring the total safety of the patient,
of the operator and the table if there is a malfunction.
The opening of the main switch K1L also determines the opening of the

HARDWARE ADJUSTMENT
16.1
A3 output PCB
The trimmers used for the collimator Axle Adjustment Movements are on
the A3 output PCB.
Here below you will find information about how to operate on them.
16.1.1
(Rev. 3)
Collimator axle speed adjustment
Trimmer to be adjusted:
R15-R20-R25.
Function:
R15:
width collimator axle speed adjustment
R20:
height collimator axle speed adjustment
R25:
iris collimator axle speed adjustment
Procedure of adjustment:
The adjustment of these trimmers makes it possible to vary the
speeds of the collimator axle movement motor.
This adjustment varies both the speeds the collimator motors use.
The high speed is the one directly obtained from the relative trimmer
adjustment, and is applied when an axle is at distance from the set
point that is greater than the slowdown band (cells 232, 233, 234).
This speed is always used with activation of the joysticks.
The low speed is applied, by means of a hardware partition
deactivated by a processor command. The low speed is activated
when the axle enters the slowdown zone. LEDs 26, 29 and 32
indicate when the high speed is activated.
The rotation of the trimmer in a clockwise direction increases the
speeds. The trimmers are of the 20 rev. type.
The possibility of monitoring this adjustment is double.
It is in fact possible to verify the adjustment in terms of both
reference voltages at the operating devices and directly on the Power
supply motors.
It is possible to measure the reference voltage to the operational IC
for the collimator shutters movement between:
TP10 (gnd) - TP1:

width collimator motor
TP10 (gnd) - TP4:

height collimator motor
and can assume a value between 0 and 8 Vdc that will correspond
proportionally to the value of the voltage at the motors from 0 to
24 Vdc.

APOLLO
SERVICE MANUAL
Hardware adjustment
It is possible to measure the reference voltage to the operational IC

for the iris collimator shutters movement between:
TP10 (gnd) - TP7:

and can assume a value between 0 and 3.5 Vdc that will correspond
proportionally to the value of the voltage at the motors from 0 to
10 Vdc.
It will be possible to check the voltage at the ends of the motors
thanks to the :
TP2 - TP3:
width collimator motor
TP5 - TP6:

The required adjustment is obtained when the voltage at the ends of
the motors the measured voltage is 24 Vdc throughout the range of

Adjustment of collimator axle torque

torque gain (armature

Trimmer to be adjusted:
R38-R48-R58.
Function:
R38:
width collimator axle torque gain adjustment
R48:
height collimator axle torque gain adjustment
R58:
iris collimator axle torque gain adjustment
Adjustment procedure:
The adjustment of these trimmers makes it possible to adjust the
torque gain of the gripper movement motor.
The gain increases when the trimmer is turned in a clockwise
direction. The trimmers are twenty turn types.
A good adjustment of this gain makes it possible to get an even
movement that is free of vibrations, since in points where mechanical
hardening of the movement is possible, this gain provides a higher
torque in order to overcome the hardening.
To obtain the adjustment required do the following for each of the
axles:
1. Turn the trimmer of the axle to be adjusted in a clockwise
direction (+).
2. When the axle begins to wobble, turn the trimmer in an
anticlockwise direction.
3. When the self-oscillation stops, turn the trimmer again by 1 turn
in an anticlockwise direction.

Compressor PCB
The activation of the compressor movements, the stop at the
microswitches end run and reaching the set compression forces are
managed by the software and controlled by output PCB A3.
The K14 and K15 relays are responsible for the movement activation.
The control of the motor and the speed change switch S31 are dependent
on PCB A15 (Figure 16-1) that has the function of "managing the power"
of the motor.
There are 3 trimmers on this PCB, each having the function of adjusting
one speed.
The compressor motor in fact is controlled with 3 different speeds i.e. to
ensure that the movement is:
sufficiently high in the compression and patient release zone
sufficiently slow in the stretch from the park to the field
with speed identical to the field entrance speed, when brought from
field to park.
To correctly carry out the adjustment of these 3 speeds the table must be
horizontal and the column taken to 0 degrees.
In this condition the compressor equipment masses act unfavourably,
making the adjustment optimal in any condition.
APOLLO
Adjustment of compression speed

This adjustment must be carried out first of all because it influences
the other two.
With motor in movement in the up/down zone, a voltage of 32 Vdc
must be measured at the test points TP4 and TP5 to be obtained by
means of the adjustment trimmer R38.
Adjustment of speed towards the park

When the compressor is piloted towards the parking position, at the
end of the vertical ascent stretch, a mechanical system starts the
cone rotating speed change switch S31 is activated.
This determines the selection of the input speed.
This speed can be adjusted by means of the trimmer R39 and, with
active movement in this zone, a voltage of 11 Vdc must be read on
the test points TP4 and TP5.
Adjustment of exit speeds from the park

When the compressor is piloted from the parking zone until switch
S31 is active, the input speed, that can be regulated by means of
trimmer R40, is used.
When the movement is active in this stretch, a voltage of 9 Vdc must
be read at test points TP4 and TP5

Consequently will be possibile to use both: the 28V and 35V connection
of the T4 transformer secondary winding 250VA (see chapter 22

The above described set allows to increase the motor speed to reduce the

Function
Input of three phase 400 V 50/60 Hz power supply.
Output of 380 V motor power supply with variable frequency
between 0 and 120 Hz.
In the case of inverted motor rotation these outputs must be
reversed.
The inversion of the wires to terminals L1-L2-L3 does not
change the rotation.
This is the pole of the open collector for the RUN signal.
This terminal is polarised at 0 V fixed.
It is the reference 0 V for the V ref. signal (terminal 2).
This terminal is polarised at fixed 0 V.
This the common (reference 0 V) for the STR and STF
signals.
This terminal is polarised at fixed 0 V.
This the output signal from the inverter (active at 0 V)
present when the inverter is in movement (acceleration and
deceleration ramps included).
This output is used to enable the processor to recognise the
end of the ramp.
Only when the inverter has finished the ramp will it be
possible to exchange the connection to the motor by means
of the remote power switch.
When this input is polarised at 0 V the inverter pilots the
motor in the "FORWARD" direction.
When this input is polarised at 0 V the inverter pilots the
motor in the "BACK" direction.
Input of speed reference from 0 to +10 V dc.
This input's usage dial is determined by parameter Pr73
(Pr73=1 range 0V +10V with motor stop at 0 V).
The speed of the motor will be proportional to the input
signal in this terminal.
This speed will be proportional to the maximum speed set in
parameter Pr38.
This pair of terminals depends on a relay contact inside the
inverter. This contact is closed when the inverter is under
normal functioning conditions. In the case of failure the
contact is open. The contacts of the 2 inverters are
connected in series and depend on an input of input PCB
A2.
When this input is polarised at 0 V, the inverter selects the
second set of operational parameters. The main beam and
middle beam motors actually use a different booster value
from the one necessary for the angulation and scan motors.

Inverter hardware setting

The inverter FR-E540 - 3,7K EC is designed to accept inputs and pilot
outputs in PNP logic (high active) or NPN (low active).
The selection of this functioning is by means of the SINK / SOURCE
"jumper" on the front of the inverter below the cover.
Since Apollo has been designed in NPN logic, the "jumper" will have to be
in the position SINK.
17.3
Inverter software parameters setting

To permit the use of the FR-E540 - 3,7K EC inverter in the most
various applications, a large number of parameters that can be set are
present in the memory.
Some of these are not active in the specific application on Apollo, so even
if modified they will not change the functioning of the equipment, others
are used but the data contained is the default settings contained in the
basic inverter program.
In conclusion, some parameters are modified with respect to the default
value by Villa Sistemi Medicali to adapt the functioning for use by
Apollo.
The modified parameters and the non-modified parameters but ones that
interact on the functioning of Apollo are listed below and divided into
two groups, while those parameters that do not lead to any effect on the
functioning of the equipment are not mentioned.
For a complete and detailed knowledge of the functioning of the inverter,
it is however possible to consult the dedicated manual, supplied together

Function
Pr.0
20
Boost at the start (1st parameters set). This parameter provides the
motor with a boost at the start that enables the inertia of the system to
be compensated for. Excessive adjustment generates a start of the
movement that is too brusque, while not enough adjustment can cause
the non-start of the movement in load conditions. This value is used for
the angulation and scan motors (see input RL).
Pr.3
50
Rated motor frequency (1st parameter set). The rated frequency

characteristic of the motor used must be inserted in this parameter.
Pr.7
Acceleration ramp (1st parameter set). Since the Apollo processor

determines the acceleration of the movement depending on the PDI
function, the inverter must not cut in with corrections in this function.
Pr.8
Deceleration ramp (1st parameter set). Since the Apollo processor

determines the deceleration of the movement depending on the PDI
function, the inverter must not cut in with corrections in this function.
Pr.9
Activation of the functioning block for excessive current to the motor.

When setting 0, when the threshold of the maximum continuous
current limit that can be delivered by the inverter is exceeded, the

EXPOSURE RESULTS
19.1
Spot Film Device adjustment

The Spot Film Device is adjusted and checked when the equipment is
made, however once the installation of the system has been completed, a
further adjustment might be necessary after carrying out the test
radiographs.
To verify the correct position of the cassette, both longitudinal and
transversal, and the shutters it will be necessary to exclude the
automatic function of the collimator that could interfere in limiting the
size.
To open the collimator axles automatically to the maximum size data 1
must be input in cell 262.
When this function is active, the message " Service function active"
appears on the control desk display.

19-1
APOLLO
SERVICE MANUAL
19.1.1
Checking
Checking the longitudinal positioning of the cassette
The cassette positioning with regard to the X-ray main beam, during the
exposure program, must be correct.
An effective method for this verification is provided by the following
procedure:
1. Insert a 40x20 (17"x7") cassette and select the subdivision for 4 in
line.
2. Run the program and develop the film.
3. The 3 white radiogram separation lines must be the same width. For
this verification the dimension of the separation line, determined by
the shutters is not important, but the constancy of this dimension.
4. Carry out the same test with a 35x35 (14"x14") cassette divided into
3.
If the separation lines are different, it means that the positioning of the
cassette is wrong in all its exposures.
To adjust the positioning properly it is possible to change the gains of the
PDI function in the cell of group 300.
The modification of these parameters can give rise to different effects, so
an intervention should only be made if the functioning of PDI method is
well understood.
The correction can be carried out by working on these data because the
position error is determined by the difference that the error assumes in
function of the length of the run.
Another possibility is that of changing the data in cell 219 which modifies
all the runs of all the subdivisions of the same quantity.
As a further possibility the single runs can be changed through the data
set in the cells of group 400.
APOLLO

SERVICE MANUAL
19.1.2
Checking the transversal positioning of the cassette

By carrying out a series of radiograms with a cross layout of a film 18x24
(8"x10") or 30x24 (12"x10"), a continuous line of separation between the
upper and lower radiograms some 2 mm (0.08") thick must be obtained.
If this does not happen it means that the transversal movement of the
cassette is wrong.
Having determined whether the defect is caused by an asymmetrical
movement with respect to the centre or by too great or too small a
movement for both sides, change the value set in cells 459 and 460.
19.1.3
Checking the positioning of the shutters

shutters
WARNING:
During these tests do not carry out limitations of the collimator width by
means of the joystick because the shutters follow the collimator.
Carry out the exposure on films of various formats and various
subdivisions.
All the separator lines, in the various dimensions and subdivisions must
be the same width.
If this not the case, change the data contained in the cells of group 400,
in such a way as to obtain what is required.
It must be remembered that the correction in mm made in the cells has
the effect of increasing and decreasing the final amount, equal to the
value of the correction.
As an example lets consider that a two line subdivision with width
cassette 30 cm (12") results from a minimum separation line (0.5 mm).
Since the desired value is 2 mm, the quantity of 1.5 mm is added to the
value in cell 549 (the absolute value of which is not important as it
depends on the characteristics of the system).

Centering the collimator, checking the XX-ray field
19.2.1
Alignment of the XX-ray beam with collimator diaphragm

NOTE:
Before starting the alignment of the X-ray beam it is necessary to ensure
the column is properly vertical and the hood is properly horizontal; these
checks can be carried out mechanically through the use of a level.
1. Bring the min SID.
2. Place a tool consisting of two concentric rings positioned at a
distance of a few cm over the tabletop surface. If the dedicated tool is
not available, a replacement tool can be made using two elements of
different diameters (see Figure 19-1).
3. Close the collimator to get an image size similar to the size of the tool
(a way that both the circles of the tool are completely represented in
the image).
4. Select fluoro and check the concentricity of the two rings.
5. If the concentricity is correct (Figure 19-1), go to point 8; otherwise
continue.

6. Move the collimator with respect to the X-ray tube using the
adjustment possible in the coupling cone: the collimator must move
in the same direction as the circle furthest from the tabletop should
be moved to become concentric with the circle resting on the
tabletop.
7. Move the tool in the same direction to reposition it in the centre of
the X-ray field (in such a way that both circles of the tool are
completely represented in the image).
Repeat points 6 and 7, by trial and error, until the two circles are
centred.
8. Move the SID to max position and check that the centering is
maintained; if this not the case, check the perpendicularity and
repeat the procedure from point 4.
9. Once the concentricity has been achieved at both the SIDs, the
verticality of the alignment between the focus of the X-ray tube and
the centre of the collimator is guaranteed.

Alignment of XX-ray beam with light beam

NOTE:
This procedure can be applied to systems that fit the Villa model
collimator. For systems fitting the Ralco mode collimator, refer to the
specific manual.
NOTE:
The light field of the collimator is adjusted in the factory, both for lamp
position and for position of the image surface, so, once the centering of
the X-ray beam has been carried out, the alignment of the X-ray beam
light beam should be guaranteed.
1. To check the alignment of the X-ray beam light beam, turn on the
light field and position 4 wads of absorbent material at the 4 edges of
the light field.
2. Expose a film and check the position of the wads with respect to the
X-ray field produced on the film; the maximum misalignment must
be equal to 3% of the SID in each direction and the sum in the two
orthogonal directions must not be over 4%.
3. If the dimensions do not coincide (indicator of the fact that the
distance of the focus of the X-ray tube from the image surface is
different from that of the lamp collimator from the same plan) the
collimator lamp can be adjusted, remembering that when the lamp
focus is brought towards the mirror, the light main beam gets
narrower while it grows bigger when it is moved away.

while, in cases where the Spot Film Device needs adjusting (the

necessary to work referring to the procedures for the adjustment and
setting of the data in the relative memory cells in the relative chapter of
this manual. The intervention on the I.I. and Spot Film Device group is
only required when in fact it has not been possible to mechanically

Collimator adjustment
19.4.1
Collimation on SFD
The collimator is adjusted and checked when the equipment is made.
Nevertheless, once installation is complete it will be necessary to check
the size of the collimated formats.
For the fluoro formats check that the axles are tangent to the I.I.
diameter. This check can be carried out by operating the collimator
joystick and checking that the shutters are immediately visible. This
must happen at all the possible zoom levels and the adjustment is made
through the setting of cells 214, 215, 216 and 217.
NOTE:
When width reduction is made by joystick, both collimator and shutters
are responsible of the reduction. Can happens that collimator and SFD
are not perfectly aligned, so in this case the image on monitor has a side
well limited and the other with a shadow. This because one side is limited
by collimator and the other by shutters. To avoid this condition is
possible to modify the shutters position in comparison with collimator
but for joystick limitation only, by using the value inserted into cell 241.
For models equipped with the Spot Film Device, use the various formats
and check that the collimator covers the selected surface.
Also check that the collimated format does not exceed 3% of the SID, the
format of the film or its subdivision.
To carry out this check, insert a cassette in the Spot Film Device and
position a cassette measuring 35x35 (14"x14") on the tabletop.
Take an exposure and develop the 35x35 (14"x14") film.
By calculating the distance between the film in the Spot Film Device and
the one on the surface check that the collimated format on the 35x35
(14"x14") film corresponds to the size of the film in the Spot Film Device
after making the appropriate proportion.
The correction of the formats can be carried out in 2 ways:
by varying the data set in cell 218 that modifies all the format
collimation positionings except for the minimum position (collimator
closed)
by modifying the adjustment of the potmeter minimum following the

description in the dedicated paragraph.

External SFD collimation (for CC-CSACSA-US version only)

The C-CSA-US version is equipped with automatic collimator with index
scale for collimated area.
These indexis must be use to recognise the collimated area on external
receptors (chest stand, external bucky, direct cassette, etc).
For each axis, a scale is present with film inch dimensions referred to
four inch SID. The indicated SID are 40", 45", 60", 72" and film range
between 5" and 17".
In direct modality the collimator axis must be done using control desk
joystick or collimator panel buttons only.
When the unit is checked in factory, the correct indexis position is
verified, meanwhile at the end of installation the correct correspondence
between indexis and irradiated areas must be checked; proceed as follow:
1. Put a 14"x17" cassette at 40" SID and collimated with indexis at
7"x7" format; expose and check the film.
2. Measure the irradiated area: must be 7"x7" 3% SID.
3. Put a 14"x17" cassette at 40" SID and collimated with indexis at
12"x14" format; expose and check the film.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with 72" SID.
If the irradiated areas have a deviation bigger than 3% of the SID, unlock
the index fixing screws and positioning the index correcting the error.
Repeat the checking actions as described on previous steps.
WARNING:
To allow the correct collimation, put always the receptor in
correspondence of one of the used SID.

within 5 secs.
When the preparation is activated or when cassette ejection is required, the collimator
and the shutters must be positioned over the cassette size or subdivision. Insert a
cassette 35x43 (14"x17"), select the panoramic size and press preparation. For
collimator leds 24 and 27 of the output PCB must come on indicating the movement in
progress. 3 cases might occur:
A. one or both of the leds do not come on
B. one or both the leds stay on
C. after some time on, leds 24 and 25 or 27 and 28 flash
For shutters check that at prep command the movement starts to open.
Solutions:
For collimator
A. the width or height motor control circuit is faulty (output PCB)
B. the position feedback circuit or the relative potmeter are faulty
C. the movement is unstable therefore there are mechanical backlashes on the
movement between motor and potmeter or the potmeter is damaged electrically. A
temporary solution to this defect might be the increase of the dead band (cells
229, 230, 231), but this entails an increase in the tolerance of the collimated size).
Shutters are controlled by PDI system, so if the set point is not reached the reason
could be a fault in the power driver circuit located in the SFD power pcb (A4).

The table logic activates the return of the compressor to the park when access to
tomographic or angiographic mode is requested. If the compressor does not reach the
parking position (switch S26, input X15-2 input PCB) the fault might be on the
compressor motor control circuit (outlets X26 pin 9 and 10 output PCB) or on the A15
power PCB. A check must also be made to see that the X15-2 input depending on the
park switch is at a high level when the compressor has activated the switch.

During the tilting, the

message "Limit reached" is
often displayed".
The I.I. does not escape the

ascent band and enters the
collision zone.
The tilting function is designed in such a way that the movement continues without
stopping if it the I.I. gets too close to the floor. To ensure this condition a ascent band
is set (cell 208) positioned over the I.I.-floor height. When the I.I. enters the ascent
band, the tilting algorithm is modified and replaced by an anti-collision movement. If
the band is too small, the I.I. might not manage to escape and enter the safety zone.
The data entered in cell 208 must therefore be increased.
The movements controlled

with the table PDI (tilting,
lift, scan, angulation) are not
smooth.
Check parameters not

regulated properly.
If the values of the proportional, derived and integral gains are not properly regulated
the movements lose their smoothness. Before adjusting these parameters, read what is
described in paragraph 11.2.1. The gain values for the axle presenting the defect are
modified by reducing what is set in 5% steps until movements are obtained without
jerks and vibrations. Remember that if the reduction is too great the gains make the
positioning inaccurate.

After checking the proper functioning of the circuit relating to the compressor unit,

the case, an effective way for checking whether the non-movement of the compressor
is due to this reason when the table is functioning normally is to increase the value of
the compression force using the dedicated key until the maximum and then to activate
the descent movement. If the movement is activated, the minimum value of the

very carefully, as described in paragraph 10.1.4.
Check the data in cells 409 and 410 that determine the stop position.
The equipment does not

come on.
Lack of power supply to the

logical circuits.
Check the presence of the single-phase voltage to the T2 transformer primary. Check
that the thermomagnetic cut out Q1 is closed. Check that the fuse F4 is not broken.
The tomo layer is not

correct.
The geometry of some of the

table's mechanical components
is different.
As the tomography of the Apollo table is completely electronic, the layer position is
calculated by means of an algorithm that takes account of the equipment's mechanical
dimensions. A defect like this can be corrected by modifying the data contained in cell
438.

The correspondence of the
collision switch often cuts in. main beam's position with that
of the middle beam is wrong.
(Rev. 6)
A sophisticated algorithm manages the main and middle beam movement used for the
tilting and lift functions. An anti-collision switch prevents a collision being generated
between main and middle beam. If this switch cuts in during movements, the cause
might be:
main and middle beam potmeter adjustment not correct. A new adjustment must
be done as described in paragraph 10.1.4
adjustment of particularly sparse PDI gains. The setting must be changed as
described in paragraph 11.2.1.

Reason
Corrective measures
With I.I. lift high, there is a

corresponding to an opening of 463 mm (18.2"), see paragraph 10.1.14.
If the opening should again prove to be critical, check the set value in cell 228 (dead
band gripping opening) that could be excessive.
The movements controlled

Check parameters are not

correctly regulated.
Device (longitudinal cassette,
transversal cassette and
shutters) are not fluid.
If the values of the proportional, derived and integral gains are not properly regulated
the movements lose their smoothness. Before adjusting these parameters, read what is
described in paragraph 11.2.1. The gain values for the axle presenting the defect are
modified by reducing what is set in 5% steps until movements are obtained without
jerks and vibrations. Remember that too great a reduction of the gains makes the
positioning imprecise.
The cassette gripping closure The control circuit is defective.

movement is not working.
Check fuse F22 positioned on the PCB A10 on the Spot Film Device. If it is seen to be
broken check that the gripping devices do not hit the walls of the Spot Film Device
violently, on opening.
Check that pressure switch S33 is not open (input X14-4), when the gripping devices
do not lock on the cassette.
APOLLO

(Rev. 6)
SERVICE MANUAL
Reason
Corrective measures
The fluoro exposure

time is long.
The positioning of the cassette,

of the shutters or of the
collimator does not occur in the
regular times.
The X-ray request to the generator control is sent when the cassette, shutters and
collimator reach the correct position. It must therefore be checked which of these
three movements is excessively slow in reaching the set point.
If the defect is on the cassette or shutter movements, check to see if there are
mechanical obstacles or take measures on the gains as described in the paragraph
11.2.1.
If the defect is on the positioning of the collimator axles, the cause of this defect might
be due to:
A- HW adjustment of the gain circuit is wrong
The trimmers, R38 width, R48 height or R58 iris, must be adjusted as described in
the paragraph 16.1.2
B- Dead band to small
The axle positioning dead band is too short, therefore the movement cannot stop
on the set point. This might be caused by a degradation of the potmeter or the
increase in mechanical backlashes. The value in the cell relating to the axle with
the defect (229 width, 230 height, 231 iris) must be increased. The increase in this
value however increases the positioning tolerance thereby diminishing the
precision. It is therefore also possible to adjust the slowdown cells (232 width, 233
height, 234 iris), which reduce the speed of the axle before reaching the set point,
by a quantity equal to the value set. The increase of this parameter does not
influence the positioning precision but has, as its only drawback, an increase in
the positioning time on the axle.
The cassette is not

recognised.
Wrong use of the cassette or

defect in the size reading
photosensor.
The correspondence between the type of cassette used (cm or inch) and the data in cell
257 is checked. It should be checked that the cassette size used is in the range
allowed (see size table and cm division paragraph 4.2 and inch paragraph 4.3.
If the above is correct, check the functioning of the size reading photosensor (input
X14-2).

SERVICE MANUAL
Reason
Corrective measures

the Spot Film Device.
The gripping devices do not open wide enough to accommodate the cassette with the
maximum height. Repeat the gripping device opening potmeter adjustment procedure
(see paragraph 10.1.14). Check the value of the cell 228. If this value is too big, the
gripping device might not be able to open wide enough.
The horizontal radiogram

subdivision line (cross
subdivision program) is not
the required size.
The transversal movement of

the cassette is wrong.
Check the adjustment of the cross subdivision potmeter paragraph 10.1.15.

Check the data in cells 459 and 460 and modify it remembering that:
if the separation line is too wide, the two numbers of the same quantity must be
reduced
if the separation line is too narrow, the two numbers of the same quantity must be
increased
modifying the 2 numbers of different quantities modifies the centering of the
cassette.
The vertical radiogram

subdivision lines are not of
the size required.
The positioning of the shutters

is incorrect.
The shutters and the width collimator are responsible for the subdivision of the
radiograms. If the white separation lines do not have a clear border, this means that
the limitation is carried out by the collimator. The collimator potmeters adjustment,
paragraphs 10.1.9 width, 10.1.10 height, 10.1.11 iris, must therefore be adjusted.
Check the data in cell 218 and modify it if the potmeter adjustment has not solved the
problem. If the separation line has a clear border, the position of the shutters needs to
be changed.
If the error is constant over all the sizes and subdivisions, the shutter potmeters
adjustment must be adjusted as described in paragraph 10.1.16. If the error is only
present on a few subdivision programs, the cell whose parameter is to be modified
among those present in the table of paragraph 11.3.4.2 must be identified.
The fluoroscopic image

shows one side darker than
the other.
The grid centering is not

correct.
The central position of the grid is not correct, it must be modified by changing the
parameter in cell 220.

Collimator
Reason
Corrective measures
One or more collimator axles

oscillate when achieving the
set point.
HW adjustment wrong or
reduced positioning window.
The causes of this defect may be:

A- HW adjustment of the gain circuit is wrong
The trimmers, R38 width, R48 height or R58 iris, must be adjusted as described in
the paragraph 16.1.2
B- Dead band to small
The axle positioning dead band is too short, therefore the movement cannot stop
on the set point. This might be caused by a degradation of the potmeter or the
increase in mechanical backlashes. The value in the cell relating to the axle with
the defect (229 width, 230 height, 231 iris) must be increased. The increase in this
value however increases the positioning tolerance thereby diminishing the
precision. It is therefore also possible to adjust the slowdown cells (232 width, 233
height, 234 iris), which reduce the speed of the axle before reaching the set point,
by a quantity equal to the value set. The increase of this parameter does not
influence the positioning precision but has, as its only drawback, an increase in
the positioning time on the axle.
The exposed collimation is

not correct.
The collimated sizes do not

correspond with film size.
Check the adjustment of the collimator potmeters paragraphs 10.1.9 width, 10.1.10
height, 10.1.11 iris.
Check the data in cell 218 and modify it if the potmeter adjustment has not solved the
problem.
The fluoro collimation is not

correct.
The collimator sizes do not

correspond with I.I. fields.
Check the adjustment of the collimator potmeters paragraphs 10.1.9 width, 10.1.10
